Shaving Your Dog

[Jessika]

snuggles doesn't get shaved bare, just enough to keep her cool because in her case she gets really hot. but I have never thought about it like that before.... can you put sunblock on a dog to protect it? i mean do they make a special one for dogs?

Yes, and yes. You can put sunblock on a dog (I would recommend children's if you're going to use "human" sunblock) otherwise they do make sunblock especially for doggies. If you have a dog with a pink nose or with light patches of fur around their eyes or nose (like Charlie has a black nose, but his skin is white, and his fur is NOT thick around his nose/mouth area at all so I put sunscreen around that area) and Jamie has a pink spotted nose, so I put sunscreen on her nose because they ARE prone to being sunburned!

Yeah, my aunt's 16 year old dog, Teddy, has really thin hair now that he's older and he fell asleep in the sun and got sunburned.
